Didn’t Google fork WebKit to make Chrome? If I remember correctly, the first few versions of Chrome were actually fully WebKit.

- marcellus23 5y agoYes, I guess by "Safari isn't forkable" he means the GUI application, but WebKit itself is definitely open-source and has been forked before (and is itself a fork of KHTML).
- Sebb767 5y agoIndeed, that's what I meant. You can fork WebKit, but you don't start out with a working browser, like you would when forking Firefox or Chromium.
